Faces of the Future: Conocophillips and Phillips 66 Emerge Spirit Magazine First Quarter 2012 “Energy Production Creates Jobs.” CONOCOPHILLIPS ConocoPhillips First Quarter 2012 Faces of the Future: ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 emerge spirit Magazine First Quarter 2012 “Energy production creates jobs.” “We need to protect the environment.” Each wants the best for our country. So how can we satisfy both — right now? At ConocoPhillips, we’re helping to power America’s economy with cleaner, affordable natural gas. And the jobs, revenue and safer energy it provides. Which helps answer both their concerns. In real time. To find out why natural gas is the right answer, visit PowerInCooperation.com © ConocoPhillips Company. 2011. All rights reserved. Sharing Insights Five years ago, I wrote the first Sharing Insights letter for the new spirit Magazine. Since then, the magazine has documented a pivotal time in our company’s history, consistently delivering news and information to a wide-ranging audience. More than 7,000 employees have appeared in its pages. Remarkably, as the magazine grew, so did the number of employees who volunteered to contribute content. When your audience is engaged enough to do that, you know you are making a difference. Now, as we approach the completion of our repositioning effort, I am writing in what will be the final issue of spirit Magazine for Jim Mulva Chairman and CEO the integrated company. I have little doubt that both ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 will continue to offer robust and engaging internal communications. But it seems fitting that this final issue includes a variety of feature articles, news stories and people profiles that reflect the broad scope of our work across upstream and downstream and the rich heritage of our history. From the Alberta oil sands to Ferndale Refinery, this issue captures in time the pre-split ConocoPhillips and the many dedicated people who have established a sound foundation for our next evolution into two independent pure-play companies. The culmination of our repositioning work is upon us, and a change of this magnitude understandably brings a mix of emotions. Routines will be disrupted; some traditions will come to an end; and colleagues will be missed. At the same time, new opportunities will open up for those with the foresight and passion to seize them. As I prepare to retire, my mind is flooded with memo- Jim Mulva at the 20th World Petroleum Congress (WPC) in Doha surrounded by some of the many company and industry colleagues ries of all the people who have who have become like a second family over the nearly four decades become my second family, and of his career. For more information on the WPC, turn to page 74. of all the great work we have done together. There is no industry quite like ours. I have been privileged to participate in this very noble endeavor for nearly four decades. Along the way, I never lost my fascination with the scope and size of the work we do, the investments we make, the advanced technology we pioneer, and the importance of the product we deliver to the world. It’s not easy to walk away, but I retire knowing that I leave two great companies in very capable hands. Your hands … Thank you for nearly 39 thrilling years. spirit Magazine 1 spirit Magazine First Quarter 2012 Contents ConocoPhillips in Photos 6 10-year Retrospective The future is now | Ray Scippa, Aftab Ahmed, 14 Karen Sivils and Summer Austin ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 are ready to emerge Oil sands collaboration | Tami Hutchinson 22 Unusual business has become business as usual Ferndale Refinery | Monica Silva and 28 Jeff Callender Embracing all things new Paving the way to wellness | Kathryn Donelson 36 ConocoPhillips supports employees’ healthy efforts To 2015 and beyond! | Nellie Betzen 44 Global Marketing prepares for a prosperous future Faces of ConocoPhillips 54 Joachim Asmussen Cecil Galloway Shirley Stevens Coyner In the News 62 A compilation of news from around ConocoPhillips’ world An acute focus on protecting the environment is second nature at Ferndale Refinery.

With 33,000 peak workers representing more than 50 countries around the world, speak- ing nine major languages and 42 dialects, one can also imagine the challenges in conveying ConocoPhillips’ safety culture to such a diverse workforce.

This was especially true of the 2-million-pound, 209-foot vacuum tower, which was built in Italy, and four 1.1-million-pound coke drums, which were manufactured in Belgium (see the 2010 eStream OnDemand video on this project). Moving these vessels meant overcoming transportation and weather- related challenges as well. This project showcased ConocoPhillips’ teamwork and knowledge sharing at their fullest. Overall, the CORE Project has a long list of advantages for Midwestern mar- kets. The most obvious being creation of construction and permanent refinery jobs and reduced emissions. Clean product yield has increased by five percent and heavy crude oil capacity is expected to increase between 90,000 and 110,000 bpd dependent on the quality of available heavy crude.

We hope our stories will continue to engage and inspire all those who follow the work and the people of the world’s largest independent oil and gas company. CS 17-1207 SHARING INSIGHTS From the desk of Terri King, President, Conoco Phillips U.K. SINCE COMING TO ABERDEEN IN EARLY 2017, I have been struck by the focus and determination of Conoco Phillips’ U.K. teams to deliver improvements in safety and environmental performance, unit cost, production reliability and cost of supply. The cover article of this final print issue of spirit Magazine features many of the people who are the essence of this exceptional business unit, working hard and looking out for each other as they go about their day-to-day duties. The U.K. asset base is a diverse one, with ongoing operations for more than a half century that now encompass the entire oil and gas life cycle, from exploration to rig decommissioning. Each stage has its own unique challenges, but offers opportunities to do things differently, to embrace new technology and to think outside the box as we focus on safe, reliable and efficient delivery on our commitments.

Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are affected by the presence and concentration of this phase in crude oil. In this paper, a theoretical study based on computational chemistry was carried out to determine the molecular interaction energies between paraffin–asphaltenes–water and four surfactant molecules to predict their effect in W/O emulsions and the theoretical influence on the pressure drop behavior for fluids that move through porous media. The mathematical model determined a typical behavior of the fluid when the parameters of the system are changed (pore size, particle size, dispersed phase fraction in the fluid, and stratified fluid) and the viscosity model determined that two of the surfactant molecules are suitable for applications in the destabilization of W/O emulsions.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Summer 2017 27 NJS Presents A Special Feature New Jersey and the Great War: Part I By Dr. Richard J. Connors DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v3i2.83 As April 2017 marked the 100th anniversary of America’s entry into World War I, this edition of NJS has several related offerings. These include this special feature, an adapted version of the first half of Dr. Richard J. Connors’ new book, New Jersey and the Great War (Dorrance, 2017). We will publish the second half in our Winter 2018 issue. Those who can’t wait, or who want to see the unedited text (to include endnotes, illustrations, and tables) can always purchase the book online! We are most grateful to Dr. Connors for allowing us to share his insightful and comprehensive work in this way, and hope you will help us ensure the widest possible dissemination by sharing the very timely piece with your colleagues, students, family, and friends. Preface When my generation were youngsters, “the war” was the Great War, now known as World War I. On Memorial Day we bought artificial flowers in remembrance of the veterans lying in European cemeteries “where poppies grow between the crosses, row on row.” On Armistice Day, November 11, we went to our local cemeteries to honor departed neighbors, especially those whose bodies were re-interred from France. At the movies, rarely air-conditioned, for a ten cent admission we watched Lew Ayres in All Quiet on the Western Front, or Errol Flynn in Dawn Patrol, plus the latest Buck Rogers serial.

  • Anatomy of the 10-Year Cycle in Crude Oil Prices Philip K. Verleger
    Anatomy of the 10-Year Cycle in Crude Oil Prices Philip K. Verleger, Jr. David Mitchell/EnCana Professor of Strategy and International Management Haskayne School of Business University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada March 2009 John Wiley & Sons published Twilight in the Desert in 2005. The book’s author, Mat- thew Simmons, contends the world will confront very high and rising oil prices shortly because the capacity of Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil producer, is insufficient to meet the future needs of oil consumers. In 448 pages, Simmons extensively discusses his views regarding Saudi Arabia’s future production levels. He asserts that the Saudis have refused to provide details about their reserves, insinuating at several points that the Kingdom’s leaders withhold information to keep the truth from the public. At its core, Simmons’ book is no more than a long exposition of the peak oil theory first espoused by King Hubbert in 1956. Hubbert, it may be recalled, studied the pattern of discovery of super giant oil fields. His review led him to conclude that world productive capacity would peak and then begin to decline. In 1974, Hubbert suggested the global zenith would occur around 1995. Simmons and other adherents to the “peak oil theory” enjoyed great prominence in the first half of 2008. Again and again, one read or heard that the oil price rise was occurring be- cause the flow from world oil reserves had reached or was approaching the maximum while de- mand was still growing. Here’s what one economist wrote just as prices peaked: Until this decade, the capacity to supply oil had been growing just as fast as de- mand, leaving plenty of room to expand production at the first sign of rising pric- es.
